TRAIN DREAM               
     
                                       
                                         
                                         
                                          
               (SITUATION)                
                                          
 YOU  FIND   YOURSELF  IN  A   RIFT  -  A 
 CLEARING, NARROW BUT IMMEASURABLY LONG.  
 TO YOUR  SIDES ARE WALLS MADE  OF TREES, 
 THICK AND READY  TO SWALLOW YOU. THE SUN 
 IS NOWHERE  TO  BE SEEN, BUT  NONTHELESS 
 IT IS  VERY BRIGHT - THE AIR FEELS LIGHT 
            BLUE, ALMOST WHITE.           
                                          
 ALONG  THE SPAN OF THE  CLEARING LAY TWO 
     PARALLEL SILVERY LINES, DARK HARD    
 METAL. SOMEHOW  YOU  CAN  SEE  HOW HEAVY 
                 THEY ARE.                
                                          
 THEY  EMIT   A  HIGH   PITCHED  WHINE... 
                                          
                                         
                                     
                                         
                                          
                (SITUATION)               
                                          
 YOURE  AT   THE   TRAIN STATION,  ON   A 
 CATWALK ABOVE  THE RAILS.  YOUR TRAIN IS 
 LATE,  OR YOU  ARE  LATE  TO  THE TRAIN. 
 IT'S A SUMMER  AFTERNOON AND THE STATION 
 IS  BUSY,  FULL  OF  RELAXED CONFIDENCE. 
                                          
 YOU'RE  IN HIGH SPIRITS,  ALTHOUGH A BIT 
 STRESSED  ABOUT  THE  TIME, WHILE MOVING 
 UP  THE  STAIRS  TO YOUR  PLATFORM.  THE 
 STATION  IS  IN   SEVERAL  LEVELS,   ALL 
     PLACED WITHIN EACHOTHER BY SOME      
    INTELLIGENT DESIGNER, AND FULL OF     
      STAIRS, ELEVATORS, SHORTCUTS,       
 BAZAARS... YOU SIGHT YOUR  TRAIN THROUGH 
 SOME  GLASS  WINDOWS. IT'S... NOT  WHERE 
           IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE?           
                                          
                                         
                                     
                                         
                                          
                (SITUATION)               
                                          
 YOU'RE FINALLY ENTERING  THE CITY. WHILE 
 IT  IS  INDEED A VERY  HIGH SPEED  TRAIN 
 YOU'RE  TRAVELING  IN,  THE JOURNEY  HAS 
 BEEN  LONG.  BUT  IT'S  ABOUT  TO   END! 
                                          
 SOCIETY  IS GROWING  DENSER AROUND  YOU, 
 THROUGH THE WINDOWS YOU SEE  FIRST SMALL 
 SHACKS, BUILT  OF METAL AND  STONE, THEN 
 PROPER  HOUSES  WITH MORTAR TO KEEP THEM 
 TOGETHER...  WHO  IN  TURN  MAKE WAY FOR 
    THE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS, THE URBAN   
      MAZE, PROTECTIVE WALLS, JUNGLE      
                NETWORK...                
                                          
 THE  TRACKS  LEAVE THE GROUND, WHICH  IS 
 NEEDED  FOR   OTHER  PURPOSES.  YOU  ARE 
  CARRIED GENTLY, CURVING UPWARDS UNTIL   
 YOU'RE  MOVING UPWARD ALONG THE WALL  OF 
 A BUILDING. IT'S  MADE OF  SLABBY STONE, 
     WITH GREAT GLASSLESS WINDOW HOLES    
 LOOKING  OUT  THE  WAY  YOU CAME. IT  IS 
            PITCH BLACK INSIDE.
